![]() You can stretch it with digital zoom, especially if there is sufficient natural light, but going beyond 30x risks making the picture grainy.Īll in all, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is a great phone both in terms of hardware (it boasts a souped up Exynos 2100 processor, for instance) and software (it runs on the latest One UI user interface which is the most polished yet). Zooming into faraway objects never looked better as there is little to no degradation within this range. You get two telephoto lenses – 3x and 10x optical. The Director Mode allows you to see how a video will look from all the lenses, including the front, simultaneously. Low-light photography has also been improved and the laser focus makes snapping photos a quick affair. Whether you use these features or not, the S21 Ultra is a big improvement over the last generation, as it takes photos that are detailed, more vibrant and flush with colour. You can quickly switch to any of the lenses with a single tap, without having to hazard a guess as to how your video will change when you switch cameras. Video too inherits this feature, making use of the phone’s sizable 6.8in screen to present you in real-time the view from all the lenses – the ultra-wide and wide angle lenses, and the telephoto lens – as well as the front 40-megapixel selfie camera. You are also given a monochrome photo in the selection which looks pretty arty. It really beats having to tell your model to stay still while you snap multiple photos manually. Here is where the upgraded Single Take feature comes in handy – the S21 Ultra now takes up to 10 shots in a second (up from two in the last gen) and then presents only the best photos based on aesthetics, including facial expression and composition. ![]() The upgraded Single Take feature is a boon for bad photographers like this reviewer. I am not sure if you have ever been an Instagram spouse and can empathise but as a self-proclaimed terrible photographer, taking photos has always been a challenge for me. The highlight of the S21 Ultra is its back cameras – a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, 108-megapixel wide-angle camera and dual 10-megapixel telephoto cameras, one with 3x optical zoom and the other with 10x. ![]() So if you already own a Note smartphone, you can use its S Pen to doodle and draw on the screen, or opt to buy the upcoming souped-up stylus which will be bigger, and dare I say, mightier. The S21 Ultra is also the first S series phone to support the much-coveted S Pen stylus, which has been exclusive to Samsung’s Galaxy Note range, the company’s other flagship series, until now. At 120GHz, scrolling and playing games can’t get any smoother, and it’s supported at Quad HD+ (3,200 x 1,440 pixels) resolution unlike previous iterations or other models in the S21 range. ![]() During the review, it hardly failed to recognise my fingerprint and was super quick. Talking about fingerprints, the S21 Ultra boasts a much larger and faster fingerprint sensor on the front. The matte black finish is nice to the touch and, more importantly, is not a fingerprint magnet. The matte finish would be my pick if one is planning to forgo a case, as it feels nice to the touch and is not a fingerprint magnet. The phone comes in two colours – Phantom Silver and Phantom Black – the former eye-catching, while the latter more interesting because of its matte finish. Instead of just chasing megapixels and processor clock cycles, Samsung has found nifty new ways to put every tech it has managed to cram into the phone to great use, making it a polished product built in line with the user’s needs.Įven in terms of design, the S21 Ultra’s protruding camera block, an eyesore for many other phones, blends in with the design to give it a sleek finish. If only one word could be used to describe the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, then it would be “refined”.
